Inflammation is your body's way of protecting itself from infection, injury, or other insults. Chemical signaling molecules called ‘eicosanoids' are responsible for creating pain, heat, swelling, and redness. Eicosanoids are made from fatty acids, or dietary fats. We've all heard of fish oil and omega-3s being important when it comes to lowering inflammation. But why? In today's episode, we break down the inflammatory cascade, explain how fatty acids are involved, and we answer the question ‘What in the world is an eicosanoid!?' Today on The Lab Report: 3:20 What are eicosanoids? 6:05 Fatty acids and the inflammatory cascade 9:10 Lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) 10:00 The COX eicosanoids – prostanoids and thromboxane  12:10 Leukotrienes, lipoxins, resolvins, and LOX 13:15 Aspirin, fish oil, and heart disease 16:30 Question of the Day How should we measure fatty acids?   Additional Resources: NutrEval Essential & Metabolic Fatty Acids - Bloodspot The omega-3 index as a risk factor for coronary heart disease    Subscribe, Rate, & Review The Lab Report Thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of The Lab Report, presented by Genova Diagnostics, with your hosts Michael Chapman and Patti Devers.

If you are worried about keeping your bones strong, there’s more to the story than taking calcium supplements. Vitamin D and vitamin K work together to support strong, healthy bones. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from food, which is essential for building and maintaining bone density. But without enough vitamin K—particularly vitamin K2—that calcium might not end up where it's needed. Vitamin K2 activates proteins that help direct calcium into bones and teeth while keeping it out of soft tissues like arteries. In other words, vitamin D gets the calcium in, and vitamin K makes sure it goes to the right place. In today’s episode, we discuss the important relationship between vitamin D and vitamin K. These 2 fat-soluble vitamins collaborate to support bone density – there’s more to bone health than calcium! Today on The Lab Report: 4:15 Fat-soluble vitamins 6:00 Vitamin D recap 9:35 Bone remodeling 12:05 All about Vitamin K 15:50 Calcium isn’t the whole story 18:25 D3/K2 and cardiovascular health 20:15 Other factors that contribute to bone health 22:40 Question of the Day Do problems with fat digestion cause vitamin deficiency?

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. We start winding down the series with a great companion piece to our past episodes on "wilderness adventure" classics Dersu Uzala and Quest for Fire. Filmmaker Jeremy Workman returns to discuss Philip Kaufman's The White Dawn, the story of three whalers who become stranded in the Northern Arctic and end up integrating with an Inuit tribe. There's a lot to talk about, from Kaufman's status as possibly the most underrated of 70's directors to Michael Chapman's naturalistic photography, the film's inspired use of diegetic music, authentic regional language and frozen landscapes, and how this movie is definitely not Louis Malle's Black Moon.

The Fugitive (1993) is one of those films that perfectly encapsulates the tension and pulse-pounding excitement of a great action-thriller. Directed by Andrew Davis and starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, this movie has earned its spot as a quintessential ‘90s action film, but it does more than just deliver spectacular stunts and edge-of-your-seat chases. At its core, The Fugitive is a cat-and-mouse game wrapped in a deeper story of justice, survival, and determination. The film explores themes of innocence and perseverance, driven by dynamic performances and sharp direction.Harrison Ford stars as Dr. Richard Kimble, a Chicago vascular surgeon falsely accused of murdering his wife. The movie opens with a gripping flashback to the fateful night of her death, immediately setting a tense and moody tone. This tension carries through the entire film as Kimble's stoic, determined search for the truth parallels Deputy U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard's relentless pursuit.The Performances: A Duel Between Ford and JonesHarrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones's powerhouse performances are The Fugitive's heart. Ford's portrayal of Dr. Kimble gives the character a sympathetic resilience. His understated but deeply emotional approach perfectly embodies a man thrown into extraordinary circumstances. Throughout the movie, you can feel Kimble's grief and frustration bubbling beneath the surface, but Ford keeps him controlled, focused, and believable. He's not an action hero in the typical sense—he's a regular man, resourceful and clever, but constantly on the run, thinking a step ahead while navigating an impossible situation.Tommy Lee Jones, on the other hand, is a force of nature as U.S. Marshal Gerard. His Oscar-winning performance is pure intensity, but with just the right touch of humour and wit to make him endlessly watchable. Jones takes what could have been a by-the-numbers antagonist role and breathes life into it. His portrayal of Gerard is marked by unrelenting professionalism—he's laser-focused on catching Kimble. Yet, you sense that he also respects him, even though they're on opposite sides of the law. Gerard's famous line, “I don't care,” when Kimble claims his innocence, perfectly encapsulates the no-nonsense persona Jones brings to the character. Gerard's dedication is to his job, not the morality of Kimble's situation.Cinematography and Direction: Crafting the ChaseAndrew Davis' masterful direction makes The Fugitive 1993 stand out even more. The movie's pacing is relentless, rarely giving the audience a moment to breathe. From the spectacular train crash sequence early in the film to the tense scenes in the Chicago streets, Davis keeps the momentum driving forward, heightening the stakes at every turn.The cinematography by Michael Chapman plays a crucial role in this, adding layers of visual tension. The film moves from one vividly captured location to the next, whether it's the urban sprawl of Chicago or the more rural, rugged terrain where Kimble initially escapes. Chapman often uses tight, claustrophobic shots of Kimble on the run to amplify the sense of desperation, juxtaposed with wide, sweeping shots that emphasize just how much ground the protagonist needs to cover to clear his name. The urban chase scenes through Chicago are particularly well-staged, providing the sense that Kimble could be found at any moment, hiding in plain sight in a city that's both his home and a trap.A Puzzle That Unfolds Layer by LayerThe Fugitive is not just a film about a chase—it's also a puzzle. The mystery surrounding Kimble's wife's murder slowly unravels as Kimble follows leads, figures out motives, and pieces together the conspiracy that led to his false imprisonment. The screenplay, adapted from the 1960s television series of the same name, does an excellent job of weaving this investigative element into the broader action. This adds an intellectual dimension to the film, as Kimble uses his medical expertise and calm under pressure to unearth the truth while dodging his pursuers.In this sense, The Fugitive becomes more than just a typical thriller. There's a deeper story here about corruption and greed, as Kimble discovers that his wife's murder was connected to a pharmaceutical conspiracy involving his colleagues. The narrative has enough twists and turns to keep viewers engaged without becoming too convoluted. By the time we reach the climax, all the pieces fall into place, but it's the journey getting there that makes the movie so compelling.A Movie That Stands the Test of TimeOne of the reasons The Fugitive 1993 remains a classic is how well it holds up today. Many action films from that era can feel dated due to over-the-top effects or exaggerated performances, but The Fugitive strikes a timeless balance. The action is realistic, the story grounded, and the performances nuanced enough that the film never feels out of place, even three decades later.Part of the movie's lasting appeal is its restraint—there are no unnecessary explosions, no overly dramatic set-pieces for the sake of spectacle. Instead, every action sequence feels earned, serving the narrative rather than distracting from it. The film's iconic train crash, for example, was created with practical effects, making it feel raw and visceral compared to today's CGI-heavy action movies. That dedication to realism is something that still resonates with audiences.Additionally, the themes of justice and redemption are universal. Dr. Kimble's fight to clear his name is one that people can relate to, even if the stakes aren't as high in their own lives. His resourcefulness, grit, and unwavering moral compass are qualities that continue to make him a hero worth rooting for. At the same time, Gerard's determination and professionalism make him more than just an antagonist—he's a protagonist in his own right, leading to a rare instance where both the hunter and the hunted are equally captivating.Impact on Pop CultureThe Fugitive 1993 has had a significant impact on pop culture, not just for its thrilling story but also for its memorable lines and characters. Tommy Lee Jones' Gerard has become a benchmark for the relentless lawman archetype, and the movie's famous line, “I don't care,” continues to resonate in countless tributes and homages. The movie was a box-office success and earned multiple Academy Award nominations, including a Best Picture nod—rare for an action-thriller of its kind.Its influence is still felt in the genre today, as many films and TV shows borrow from its style of combining action with mystery. Even modern cat-and-mouse stories owe a debt to The Fugitive, proving its lasting relevance in the world of cinema.ConclusionThe Fugitive 1993 is a masterclass in tension, storytelling, and performance. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are perfectly matched as two men on opposite sides of the law, and the film's relentless pacing and engaging mystery make it a gripping watch from start to finish. Even after all these years, it remains one of the best examples of how to craft a smart, exhilarating action-thriller that keeps the audience guessing while delivering plenty of heart-pounding moments. For fans of intelligent, character-driven suspense, The Fugitive is a must-watch.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) has become a hot topic in functional medicine. Mast cells are an integral part of the body's immune system. They can be found in areas of exposure such as mucosal membranes, the lining of the GI tract, skin, and airways. Mast cells are responsible for storing important chemical mediators like histamine and others which help to instigate allergic responses. Mast cell disorders arise when there are too many mast cells, or they become hyperreactive. That being said, these conditions are often misunderstood, and diagnoses are sometimes misused.  In today's episode, we focus on the role of mast cells and histamine in the immune response. We discuss the different mast cell activation disorders, how to diagnose them, and what you can do about it.   Today on The Lab Report:   3:05 Mast Cell Activation Diseases 5:15 What is a mast cell? Why do we care? 7:05 Symptoms of histamine release 8:40 Histamine intolerance vs. MCAS 11:11 Foods: High Histamine or Low Histamine? 14:25 Non-food related histamine associations 15:30 Diagnosing and treating MCAS  18:00 Question of the Day What Genova profiles can help parse out histamine intolerance v.

There are a lot of terms bantered about in the biohacker and longevity space. With that, you've likely heard of mTOR – mechanistic (mammalian) target of rapamycin. But what exactly is it? mTOR is a key regulator in your body's metabolic and growth processes. It integrates various signals, including nutrients and growth factors, to control processes like protein synthesis, autophagy, and lipid metabolism. Because it regulates growth, dysregulation of mTOR has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. In today's episode, we simplify the science behind mTOR – mechanistic target of rapamycin. This crucial enzyme may be the key to unlocking groundbreaking advancements in wellness, anti-aging, disease prevention, and health optimization. Today on The Lab Report: 3:00 mTOR – Why are we even covering this topic? 4:40 What is it? Muscle growth vs. autophagy 6:25 Why is it called mTOR? 9:00 Highly conserved and in every cell, every organ 10:30 mTORC1 and mTORC2 11:25 Influences and sensors – it's more than leucine 14:25 Dysregulation of mTOR – does protein cause cancer? 17:30 Should people take rapamycin for longevity? 20:20 Question of the Day Where does mTOR work in muscle protein synthesis?

Multi-omics is the layering of genetic information (genomics) with laboratory biomarker results (metabolomics) to understand the root cause of disease and risk. This educational series focuses on genetic variants in specific enzymes and explains how to evaluate the systemic effects. Today's episode revolves around the enzyme cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS). This enzyme is important for homocysteine metabolism, sitting at a branch point between two important cycles: methylation and transsulfuration. The action of this enzyme is important for balancing the critical functions of methylation with the creation of glutathione and energy. Listen to understand why this enzyme is important and what a genetic variant in CBS might mean for you and your patients. Today on The Lab Report: 2:20 Reminder of what we mean by multi-omics 4:50 Introducing the CBS enzyme and the sink drain metaphor 7:40 The genetics of CBS – the silent mutation – and its potential effects 12:40 Better Know A Biomarker:  Cystathionine! 16:20 Activators and inhibitors of CBS and its effects on other biomarkers 18:55 Question of the Day:  Does a CBS SNP cause elevated ammonia levels? 21:40 Evaluating surrounding biomarkers and how do you treat this SNP?
